You may not recall, but the existing language was a careful compromise reflecting some very different views on the applicability of these properties. There were a number who strongly disagreed with these properties as things to maintain going forward and so the wording was chosen to reflect that these properties, while once considered important, no longer had consensus. In that context, changing this in the RSAB stage of processing is quite problematic.
